Get Your Ideal Puffy Cheeks

Hanging skin, forming that hang-dog look, is very aging. The following exercises, if done regularly, will assist in lifting and firming the cheeks, and will promote an anti-aging and ageless look.Cheek exercise 1Sit upright with lips closed but relaxed. Pucker and pout your lips using your cheek muscles. (Use your fingers to make sure that you are using your cheek muscles). Keep your lips puckered for a count of 10 and then relax. Repeat 10 times.Cheek exercise 2With your lips closed, smile a relaxed smile, and then suck your cheeks toward and on to your teeth. Hold this position for 10 counts and then relax. Repeat 10 times.Cheek exercise 3Look into a mirror while doing this exercise. Pucker your top lip, turning the corners of your lips upwards and move your cheek muscles toward your eyes. You should at this stage get your top lip to touch your nose. Keep this position for 10 counts and then relax. Repeat the exercise 10 times.Cheek exercise 4Look in the mirror while doing this exercise. Smile as widely as possible (while keeping your lips closed and mouth corners turned up). Try to get the corners of your mouth to touch your ears. Next, wrinkle your nose and see your cheek muscles move upwards and feel these muscles work. Keep this position for a count of 5 and then relax. Repeat 10 times.Cheek exercise 5Keep your teeth and lips closed and blow air under your top lip and keep it there for 10 counts, then move the trapped air to your left cheek for 10 counts, then your right cheek for 10, then your lower lip and hold for 10. Relax. Repeat 5 times.
